Josh: *witnesses an eagle get struck by lightning and a fish escape death twice* Josh immediately after that: “There’s gotta be a way to sell quality pedals under $100”

The cabin.. is errr blocky.. like it's compressed.... And that leaves the salmon for the reverb. Because it's delicious. And it lives long. And happily ever after.
Wish I just had seven hundred bucks though, like, these are at a budget for his pedals, but still very difficult for any working musician in the real world who isn't rich. None of us who make a living meagerly off music in 2021 zero shows last year can really do that. I just don't have seven hundred. So for me it's like, I'm gonna get the chorus.

I'm dedicated to buying one pedal a month. My first was the chorus, and I love it. I watch this episode once a week to wet my appetite. After a few years away from guitar, this channel has been a huge inspiration to me getting back into it, so, thank you.
I just received my 3 Series Delay. Without even being connected it stands out among my pedals like the "White Album" stands out among my vinyl. I was wondering if it's supposed to smoke until I realized it was just a burst of inspirational combustion and the smoke was coming from my guitar playing (or maybe it was from my wife seeing the Fed Ex truck in our driveway - AGAIN!). Thanks for making this.
You’re going to sell tons of these. I’m ordering a reverb after I’m through watching. Thanks for doing this, guys. I’m putting a new-rig together after an illness and long layoff - It’s getting expensive. This will save me a few $ and I know the quality is top-notch, as I have an Angry Driver & Pulp n Peel on the new board & LOVE them.
Been using the distortion pedal for about a year now and I am IN LOVE with the simplicity and versatility within it. Now I must have more pedals in this series. Love your transparency!
I was just looking for a simple Reverb after selling my Big Sky ( which I kind of regret ) but this reverb pedal is exactly what I’m looking for. Simple, yet effective. I have limited time to plug in and play so this less time tinkering with knobs the better. Josh, you are doing the guitar community a great service by releasing this line of high quality yet very affordable pedals. I’ve bought every complex and expensive pedal there is and now all I want is something simple so I could plug in a play without wasting tons of time tweaking knobs. Most of my pedal knowledge that I’ve acquired came from watching your show and I am appreciative of that. I learned more about pedals and circuits than I ever thought I would and it’s all because of your willingness to share your knowledge and for that kind sir I thank you.
Hey Jordan, I have tested a few hundred of this Reverb pedal before we shipped out to dealers. I own a Big Sky and I can tell you that you will not be disappointed. When I first plugged one in I had people from the shipping department as well as builders popping their head in my office to see what I was playing. To say the least I may have wasted a little company time because it was so inspiring. 😬 I hope you get a chance to check one out! 🤘 Best of luck to you!
John Loux Music Hey, thanks for insiders info and well wishes! Testing a few hundred reverb pedals sounds pretty awesome to say the least. Your ear must be really honed in. As soon as I heard the tone I went onto Sweetwater and ordered one. It’s arriving Monday. Any insider tips? I plan on using it with my single channel Orange which doesn’t have reverb. It seems like adding more verb makes it go from Room to Hall to Spring to more infinite ambient styles of reverb when cranked. I was looking at the Topanga and Faux Spring but they only really have one sound. The MXR is nice but I didn’t want to get lost in settings again. This one seems to be right there in the middle. Simple, but still has tonal variations. Hopefully this one is the last one I need. All I really want is something similar to a really good amp reverb. I think it will pair well with the Jan Ray and KOT.
Let me tell you something about those big skys. I have a history in the worship music world and everyone along with their mother has a big sky. Despite having the most advanced and tweakable reverb pedal on the market, they pretty much all used the most boring settings in the world on them. Though I think they're awesome and super advanced, I've never been impressed with anyone's reverb sound who I knew was using a big sky. Only time I ever complimented a dude's reverb, because it sounded absolutely huge and amazing, it ended up being a boss rv-6 on the modulated setting. So that's what I ended up buying. All that to say, most people with big sky's don't use them anywhere near their true potential. There are much better, cheaper ways to create space (good stacked delays; light, light modulation; etc.). If you use a reverb correctly anyway, it's typically fairly mild.
Well Josh, my JOYO Aquarius (that you suggested) died today so I’m replacing it with the JHS3 delay. My first JHS pedal. Dear god, don’t become an addiction... Wish me luck ;)
I’ve been trying a bunch of compact form factor reverbs for my board and I’m happy to belatedly discover how good the 3 series reverb is but also a little bit pissed that I didn’t try it first.
Just bought the Compressor and the Distortion. The Compressor is fantastic, the only issue is my guitar has INSANE output volume, kinda awesome though. The Distortion might just be the best distortion pedal I've ever played.
Thanks darillio now I gotta go n check out the d.o.d. corcosa! BUT I couldn't agree more that the new JHS paddles are killer sounding! Fuzz with mad versatility. Simple, clean presentation.
I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now. I have 4 pages of notes. I'm 65, getting back into a band situation and really digging it. I love that you actually promoted your own products in this one. The reverb pedal made me realize why the reverb on my amp will just not do. JHS pedals on my BUY LIST: 3 Series Reverb and Distortion. And a couple of non 3 Series - the Whitey Tighty compressor (like the blend control) and the buffered splitter. Your jams are great, too. Great work!
Makes sense, doesn't matter how many knobs and toggle switches you have on a pedal when you only have one vacuum cleaner switch to turn it on or off live.
I highly recommend the Danelectro CoolCat from the 90’s, big metal body, 18V CE-2 clone. Sounds incredible. Best chorus Ive had. You can find em for like 60 bucks. And they’re stereo.
I picked up the compressor today. I tried it side-by-side with a dyna comp at the same price. The JHS had waaaay more control over the effect and sounded better overall, so it was a no-brainer. Well done, Josh!
Chatting with Josh this morning, not once did he mention anything about the JHS 3 Series 🤔 I do think the 3 Series is a great way to get up-and-coming player's into affordable boutique pedals built in the USA. Later on as they mature in playing abilities.. I believe they'll move on to seek out their voice. Therefore, everyone pretty much wins the end. Just my 3 cent's worth 😉 • Favorite quote in the video: Josh: "Let's add some delay and just rock out. Let's get crazy. Okay, here we go." 🤣
Oh my god we're talking three pieces? Rush, the Police, Dino Jr. (as you mentioned), Primus, Nirvana, Motorhead, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and so many more!
Just got in the Overdrive! I love it. I also have the Compressor on the way. Thank you so much for releasing such quality, budget friendly pedals! Now work on giving us an album! These jams are too epic to not flesh out!
I gotta say.... this is my absolute favorite video of you and Nicks playing and songwriting. You guys are WAY BETTER than you get credit for! I honestly think that you could or should release an album of your work, or make them free downloadable, or up on CZcams...whatever. I just wanted to tell you that. I hope i am not a weirdo. That is all. Thank you.
talons are electrical insulators and the resistance to the current (in the eagle) caused the puncture wounds to cauterize... or not... fish swims upside down now, tho'
@JHS Pedals: I’m really starting to get miffed that you don’t have an instrumental album I can add to my work playlist. I’m totally serious… well, not exactly about beeing miffed, though maybe a little bit… mostly I just want an album. Do that, please. I’ll be less miffed, and that would be nice. Might even be happy; even nicer.
You should do an episode where you go over your favorite EE/audio circuit textbooks or just ones that influenced your design the most. Or even just post a list online somewhere I'm just a textbook nerd/collector who likes to see which textbooks other people like.
I feel like these pedals are a passive-aggressive way of answering last month's Patreon question "what color is an effect?". Answer? WHITE! They're all white! How white? All the white. None more white. As someone who completely overthinks the 'what circuit is this, and is it the correct one?' question, I kind of appreciate the vague nature. It gets to the nature of 'does it matter, it sounds good?'. Real question: I'm not sure how well I'd do distinguishing them on the floor. Do they take grease pencil well?
@@depressioncircuit535 you have the behringer compressor sustain one? Just curious if it's noisy. Mine is the only one in the line that gets noisy. The tube overdrive is great though.
I especially love when the dog just wanders onto the set 🤣 Nick doesn’t get enough credit for tasty beats, fills and a clean, punchy drum sound to die for
The living end, the living end. I think that you will love it. Chris Cheney the plays a mind blowing guitar part whilst singing. In Australia he was called the new god.
I’m 39 and just learning to play. I just bought the 3 series chorus AND delay. I watch Josh’s videos and buy pedals because they keep me interested. Wish me luck.
For a great trio, check out P.J. Harvey's trio with Steve Vaughn and Rob Ellis on her first couple of albums, Dry and Rid of Me. They were just damn tight.
Just got the reverb today, it's great. It just says "Reverb" no big flashy chassis, no oddly labeled knobs and most importantly.. the pedal sounds fantastic. I needed a reverb and I sure as hell got one, great work on this line.
Morphine's Cure For Pain. Brilliant minimalist song writing, sexy bass/baritone vocals, and sweet rock n roll hooks galore. The lack of guitar really keeps it sounding fresh over the years, and two saxes are better than one. I dig the "Dharma Initiative" pedal line, Josh. And that shirt is fantastic.
I don’t think Josh gets enough credit for how good of a musician he is
Except that you can scroll down thru the comments on any JHS videos & find this same assertion dozens of times. He's solid, & has gotten a lot better over the past two years. It helps that his drummer is a fucking clock.
Actually came here to say Face Punches was amazing

Step 2: order salmon, hawk, eagle, mountain, lightening, rocking chair, & cabin decals.

John Loux Music Hey, thanks for insiders info and well wishes! Testing a few hundred reverb pedals sounds pretty awesome to say the least. Your ear must be really honed in. As soon as I heard the tone I went onto Sweetwater and ordered one. It’s arriving Monday. Any insider tips? I plan on using it with my single channel Orange which doesn’t have reverb. It seems like adding more verb makes it go from Room to Hall to Spring to more infinite ambient styles of reverb when cranked. I was looking at the Topanga and Faux Spring but they only really have one sound. The MXR is nice but I didn’t want to get lost in settings again. This one seems to be right there in the middle. Simple, but still has tonal variations. Hopefully this one is the last one I need. All I really want is something similar to a really good amp reverb. I think it will pair well with the Jan Ray and KOT.
Let me tell you something about those big skys. I have a history in the worship music world and everyone along with their mother has a big sky. Despite having the most advanced and tweakable reverb pedal on the market, they pretty much all used the most boring settings in the world on them. Though I think they're awesome and super advanced, I've never been impressed with anyone's reverb sound who I knew was using a big sky. Only time I ever complimented a dude's reverb, because it sounded absolutely huge and amazing, it ended up being a boss rv-6 on the modulated setting. So that's what I ended up buying. All that to say, most people with big sky's don't use them anywhere near their true potential. There are much better, cheaper ways to create space (good stacked delays; light, light modulation; etc.). If you use a reverb correctly anyway, it's typically fairly mild.
What an incredible series of pedals! Love the video of the employees testing them too!
Well Josh, my JOYO Aquarius (that you suggested) died today so I’m replacing it with the JHS3 delay. My first JHS pedal. Dear god, don’t become an addiction...
Wish me luck ;)
That initial story brought a tear to my eye...
Josh: Those triple stop licks in the first jam killed.
Yeah, yeah these all sound amazing and are priced super reasonably, but why is no one talking about the dog at 24:00?
MORE DOG PLZ
You can check our Hank’s bio on the website. 😌

Why did I have to scroll to see if anyone noticed the dog?!?!
@@bradenbookout2396 EXACTLY
@@lasagnaprincess4546 THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY
MORE COWBELL!
"Martian Outlaw" sounds like the working title for The Mandalorian
I’ve been trying a bunch of compact form factor reverbs for my board and I’m happy to belatedly discover how good the 3 series reverb is but also a little bit pissed that I didn’t try it first.
Favorite trio: King’s X Album: “Dogman” A band if Sabbath, Sly and the Family Stone and the Beatles had a baby...
King's X is the bomb. I love them to death.
King X....wow....reminded me of them....gotta blast it out today
My favorite band since 1988 , just sick!!
*King's X group hug*
Love King's X! Perfect description of them. Dogman and Ear Candy were both huge albums for me.
Should make a variation with a black finish, with white graphics.
Brion Allan that would be awesome
Black Pedals Matter...
Ford - I will make you a car any color you want so long as it’s black
Could b called the Alternate Universe 3 Series!
The distortion jam started really awesome.....then that chorus chimed in and took it out of this world. That was amazing.
Just bought the Compressor and the Distortion. The Compressor is fantastic, the only issue is my guitar has INSANE output volume, kinda awesome though. The Distortion might just be the best distortion pedal I've ever played.
Lower ya pickups

In my hometown, there is a trio that plays all trio covers, and they all wear vests and blasters, etc, called (*drumroll*) Han Trio.
You’re welcome.
3-piece band favorites: Dinosaur Jr.'s "Without a Sound" and Rush's "Exit...Stage Left".
I really like the bias control on the Fuzz. Nice new line, glad you kept the format built to proper physical/durability standards.
Re trios, hard to beat The Police's first 3 or 4 albums. "Regatta De Blanc" is such a classic. Also King's X.
The Polices' sound arrested me & I stayed in their jail 4 a loooong time.
I was very happy there.
Grand Funk Railroad
Hell Yes King's X!!!
I’m not even lying when I say that’s one of the best fuzz sounds I’ve ever heard
it reminds me of the dod carcosa, seems to be a similar circuit including the voicing toggle and bias. that pedal is my absolute favourite fuzz pedal.
@@ithemba carcosa is way more versatile
Thanks darillio now I gotta go n check out the d.o.d. corcosa! BUT I couldn't agree more that the new JHS paddles are killer sounding! Fuzz with mad versatility. Simple, clean presentation.
Great Three piece band: Morphine: sax, two-stringed slide bass and drums.
Pieter Angel the guy came to my elementary school before he died. He was the brother of my music teacher.
Morphine INDEED!!!!!
GR8 BAND !
The sax player is still playing in Vapors of Morphine. Saw them in Cambridge, MA. Amazing live show
I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now. I have 4 pages of notes. I'm 65, getting back into a band situation and really digging it. I love that you actually promoted your own products in this one. The reverb pedal made me realize why the reverb on my amp will just not do. JHS pedals on my BUY LIST: 3 Series Reverb and Distortion. And a couple of non 3 Series - the Whitey Tighty compressor (like the blend control) and the buffered splitter. Your jams are great, too. Great work!
Makes sense, doesn't matter how many knobs and toggle switches you have on a pedal when you only have one vacuum cleaner switch to turn it on or off live.
I'm finally getting a chorus pedal
What was stopping you? There are ones out there for well under 3 digits already.
Yea like a small clone
I’m finally switching my guitar from propane to electric
I highly recommend the Danelectro CoolCat from the 90’s, big metal body, 18V CE-2 clone. Sounds incredible. Best chorus Ive had. You can find em for like 60 bucks. And they’re stereo.
The mosky is only about $20 and sounds excellent.

Proletariat slogans from a consummate capitalist.
@@bradley8913 power to the pedals!
that chorus jam makes my eyes sweat
I want that published. Do they have music out to listen to?
@@samuelneff6021 Now they got all their jams from their videos on an app called bandlab
@@mannreelmen2601 but not this song sadly enough
I picked up the compressor today. I tried it side-by-side with a dyna comp at the same price. The JHS had waaaay more control over the effect and sounded better overall, so it was a no-brainer. Well done, Josh!
Chatting with Josh this morning, not once did he mention anything about the JHS 3 Series 🤔
I do think the 3 Series is a great way to get up-and-coming player's into affordable boutique pedals built in the USA.
Later on as they mature in playing abilities.. I believe they'll move on to seek out their voice. Therefore, everyone pretty much wins the end. Just my 3 cent's worth 😉

Favorite quote in the video:
Josh: "Let's add some delay and just rock out. Let's get crazy. Okay, here we go." 🤣
Oh my god we're talking three pieces? Rush, the Police, Dino Jr. (as you mentioned), Primus, Nirvana, Motorhead, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and so many more!
21:42 "Kinda like you're on the back side of Pluto and you're escaping your enemies".
Fantastic description.
I just watch, listen to you jam, play along, and listen to you talk about gear. Very nice channel man. I hope you make a million. 🙃🤘
Gotta love that Beatles style tune. Absolutely stunning.
You should call this the “Repo Man” series.
😁 That’s an awesome idea!
And why not 😋
Just got in the Overdrive! I love it. I also have the Compressor on the way. Thank you so much for releasing such quality, budget friendly pedals!
Now work on giving us an album! These jams are too epic to not flesh out!
I gotta say.... this is my absolute favorite video of you and Nicks playing and songwriting. You guys are WAY BETTER than you get credit for! I honestly think that you could or should release an album of your work, or make them free downloadable, or up on CZcams...whatever.
I just wanted to tell you that. I hope i am not a weirdo.
That is all. Thank you.
Is the salmon ok?? It was struck by lightning too
And gouged by 2 sets of talons.
I'm sure it's fine.
Blackened
It's just a little electrically charged, it's still good, it's still good!!!
Turned into a zombie eel. Doing fine.
talons are electrical insulators and the resistance to the current (in the eagle) caused the puncture wounds to cauterize... or not... fish swims upside down now, tho'
King’s X “Faith, Hope, Love”. Best rock trio ever!
13:01 Captain Salts Super Great Buddy Squad = best jam in JHS history
The band is Doco. “Freeway Camping Life” is the jam. Have a great day!!
In my Top 10 Albums -- Cream - Disraeli Gears
@JHS Pedals: I’m really starting to get miffed that you don’t have an instrumental album I can add to my work playlist. I’m totally serious… well, not exactly about beeing miffed, though maybe a little bit… mostly I just want an album. Do that, please. I’ll be less miffed, and that would be nice. Might even be happy; even nicer.
on vinyl as well please
Minutemen, What Makes a Man Start Fires. Everything they made pumps my adrenaline. Mike Watt is a heck of a nice guy too
That reverb is amazing!
The Jimi Hendrix Experience was a three-piece band. Pretty decent.
Cream?
I've heard that.
Who?
@@vhollund Apparently Mr. Hendrix was quite a good guitarist, and his rhythm section is quite underrated.
@@davewebb3847 He sure was
You should do an episode where you go over your favorite EE/audio circuit textbooks or just ones that influenced your design the most. Or even just post a list online somewhere I'm just a textbook nerd/collector who likes to see which textbooks other people like.
Just bought chorus can’t wait to collect them all
Favorite three piece album(and one of my all-time favorites):
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Josh, my dad always says these all white pedals should've came with a box of crayons too
I feel like these pedals are a passive-aggressive way of answering last month's Patreon question "what color is an effect?". Answer? WHITE! They're all white!
How white? All the white. None more white.
As someone who completely overthinks the 'what circuit is this, and is it the correct one?' question, I kind of appreciate the vague nature. It gets to the nature of 'does it matter, it sounds good?'.
Real question: I'm not sure how well I'd do distinguishing them on the floor. Do they take grease pencil well?
Change out all the leds for colored leds :)
I thought exactly this. Color tells one what is what.
@@sleepymarauder4178 there is colored tape too. Or white tape and marker on the tape.
@@sleepymarauder4178 But then I have to turn it on if I'm not sure what it is.
Me: "OK, CHORUS!"
Pedal: Fuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
it's an incentive to paint them
I find myself coming back to these videos for the Jams.
Loving the sound of that compresor! Nice groove guys.
>under a 100$
“Oh, sweet”
>99$
“Yeah, figures”
At least it's not $99.99 😏
Yeah my wife would definitely not consider these budget haha I don't tour or stomp my shit so I'ma stick with Behringer
@@depressioncircuit535 you have the behringer compressor sustain one? Just curious if it's noisy. Mine is the only one in the line that gets noisy. The tube overdrive is great though.
Also wouldn't be profitable to sell them any cheaper, being made in the USA and not plastic or cheap components. Better come with a sticker though!
@@bradfordsmith3203 He can sell for as much as he wants to, but 99$ isn't REALLY less than 100$, you know what I mean?
I've had the fuzz since it came out. Now I have the octave reverb. I love these 2 pedals very much
I especially love when the dog just wanders onto the set 🤣
Nick doesn’t get enough credit for tasty beats, fills and a clean, punchy drum sound to die for
"Compression is like expansion, just backwards"
lmao. technically correct
impansion, literally
the ending speech by Josh makes me wonder what he’d have been like in the 70s?! ✌🏻
The living end, the living end. I think that you will love it. Chris Cheney the plays a mind blowing guitar part whilst singing. In Australia he was called the new god.
I’m 39 and just learning to play. I just bought the 3 series chorus AND delay. I watch Josh’s videos and buy pedals because they keep me interested. Wish me luck.
Thank you, buying that compressor ASAP
For a great trio, check out P.J. Harvey's trio with Steve Vaughn and Rob Ellis on her first couple of albums, Dry and Rid of Me. They were just damn tight.
I will do that. Thanks.
"Beatles Wannabe Tune" is my favourite genre of music.
Just got the reverb today, it's great. It just says "Reverb" no big flashy chassis, no oddly labeled knobs and most importantly.. the pedal sounds fantastic. I needed a reverb and I sure as hell got one, great work on this line.
Morphine's Cure For Pain. Brilliant minimalist song writing, sexy bass/baritone vocals, and sweet rock n roll hooks galore. The lack of guitar really keeps it sounding fresh over the years, and two saxes are better than one.
I dig the "Dharma Initiative" pedal line, Josh. And that shirt is fantastic.
Isn't it Darpa?😌 Not sure...
